But 1080 is very strongly regulated & is only used to target particular animals.
After you show me how you can go & buy some I'll agree with you Dot.
I had been saying in another forum about the excessive use and distribution of 1080 and this was one reply I got. Would someone who has the correct answer please let me know. TIA -------- "But 1080 is very strongly regulated & is only used to target particular animals.

1080 is a non specific poison. It will kill anything that requires oxygen to live.
It cannot be controlled as animals and birds can move baits or travel kilometres before they die.
It has been stolen and never found.
It is used maliciously by some people.
Etc etc

1080 is mismanaged and very often users fail to comply with the State authority requirements for use, which is why we hear about so many dogs dying from 1080 each week. People complain of no signs, no neighbour warning, no pick up of poisoned carcass. It is a risk to human health.

1080 cannot "target species" the users of the product can attempt to lay the baits in situations that do not favour other animals but all research shows this procedure fails.

1080 is supposed to be highly regulated however over time, procedures and pressure from certain industries has led to far more lax monitoring, in a circle of "not my responsibility" This degradation now seeing products with certain % of 1080 being available to purchase "over-the-counter"
Not regulated and any complaints regarding the death of companion animals in particular are met with a very long process of "not my area"
Noting the "string of deaths in QLD" were from products purchased over the counter

Used to - in QLD there is a loophole they appear to have taken up. We are waiting official response but have a long trail of first-hand issues from devastated families and a review that apparently gives way to a new problem.
